FRIED "BANGUS" (FRIED MILKFISH)

The Philippine National Fish is milkfish, also known as "bangus" in Tagalog, the Philippine national language. There are numerous recipes that use this fish in their preparation, and my Lola Demet had nearly all of them in her collection, which I will undoubtedly share with you. So, here's the first of many recipes I'll be sharing in the near future in upcoming posts, and I'll show you how my Lola Demet prepared fried "bangus."

Ingredients: (Good for 4 Persons)

2 pcs. Of bangus (boneless)
3 pcs. Cloves of garlic (crushed and chopped)
2 medium kalamansi juice (or 2 tbsp. lemon juice)
2 pcs bay leaves (laurel)
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
1/4 cup of cooking oil

Procedure

1. First, marinate the boneless bangus in a deep plain dish or, better still, a bowl, with garlic, kalamansi or lemon juice, salt, bay leaves, and pepper for 1 to 2 hours.

2. Then fry with medium heat for 5 minutes for each side or at least until golden brown.

3. Serve with soy sauce, spice vinegar, kalamansi or lemon juice as a dip. And you can also use Ensaladang labanos (radish salad) as a partner to this dish which will be my next recipe which you can find by clicking here.

Enjoy! (Note: don't forget to cook the rice; it's the fantastic addition.)

CHICKEN ARROZ CALDO

CHICKEN ARROZ CALDO

Another of my personal favourites is Chicken Arroz Caldo, especially when my Lola Demet uses "bisaya nga manok" or native chicken, which makes it tastier.

This cuisine is suitable for breakfast and snacking. It also works well as a treatment for those who have the flu or a fever.

Ingredients: (Good for 10 Persons)

1 whole chicken (equivalent to 1 kg) (Cut into a maximum of 16 pieces.)
1 cup of glutinous rice
1 cup normal rice
10 eggs
2 large onions (chopped or ground)
10 pcs. Clove of garlic (chopped or ground)
1 inch ginger (chopped or ground)
Turmeric powder (you can use food color if turmeric powder is not available)
3 Liters of water
1 tbsp. Oil
1 tbsp. Fish sauce
1/2 tsp. Ground white/black pepper
Salt to taste
Spring onion and Calamansi for garnishing

Procedure

1. Heat the oil and garlic in a large mixing bowl over medium heat. Wait until golden brown, then remove and set aside. When the onion and ginger are ready, add the half garlic that was set aside, along with the native chicken, salt, pepper, and fish sauce. Allow the chicken to cook for 5 minutes with the sautéed garlic, onion, and ginger. But don't forget to mix it up every now and then.

2. After 5 minutes, add the washed glutinous and regular rice. Mix thoroughly, then add the turmeric powder. After 5 minutes, cover with 3 liters of water. Make a high-heat fire until it boils, then reduce to a medium-heat fire. Wait 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the rice is done.

3. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, boil the washed egg for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool before peeling.

4. When the arroz caldo is done, serve in bowls. Add one egg to each bowl, along with some fried garlic and spring onion, and some sliced calamansi on the side.

Enjoy Your Meal!

LINUSGUSAN NGA PASAYAN (SHRIMP)

Linusgusan nga Pasayan is a shrimp dish made with water, sprite/7-up, salt, and oil that is cooked until it is dry.

This is the quickest and easiest way to cook shrimp for me, and if you don't want the shrimp's skin to stick to its meat, try my Lola Demet's procedure.

2. Marinate the shrimp in a large pan with sprite or 7-up and salt. Allow for a 10- to 15-minute rest period.

3. Next, over medium heat, add the water to the pan with the marinated shrimp. Allow it to boil until nearly dry.

CARNE FRITA

Beef-Sirloin,Beef,Onion,Garlic,Pepper,Pepper-Corn,Calamansi,Lemon,Bay-Leaves,Soy-Sauce,Oil,Sugar-Brown,Salt,

CARNE FRITA

Carne Frita is another of my favorite dishes that my Lola Demet prepares.

This is an Ilonggo dish that is thinly sliced and cut into squares before being marinated in a sauce made of soy sauce, garlic, calamansi, and oil. However, before it was cut into squares, my Lola Demet pounded the beef with a meat mallet to tenderize it and improve the flavor inside and out.

Ingredients: (Good for 4 Persons)

3/4 kg thinly sliced beef sirloin
1 onion (medium) (chopped)
1 onion (medium) (sliced like rings)
3 pcs. garlic cloves (chopped)
3 pcs. garlic cloves (ground)
Black peppercorns and ground black pepper to taste
3 large calamansi or 1 lemon
3 bay leaves (laurel)
3/4 cup Soy sauce
1/2 cup of cooking oil
Salt to taste
Brown granulated sugar

Procedure

1. Cut the thinly sliced beef into squares.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, salt and pepper corns.

3. Pour the calamansi juice over the beef and toss to combine. Allow for at least 45 minutes of marinating time.

4. Heat the cooking oil in a large wok over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and garlic.

5. Once the onion and garlic are ready, add the beef, one square at a time, fry for a few minutes, or at least until brown on both sides.

6. Combine the remaining marinade sauce and 1 cup of water.

7. When the liquid begins to boil vigorously, reduce the heat to low, add the brown sugar and pepper, and continue to cook until the water evaporates.

8. Increase the heat to medium and check the beef for tenderness. Wait until the sauce thickens and the oil appears on top.

9. Mix in the sesame oil and onion rings with the beef for about 2 minutes, and the Carne Frita is ready to eat.

Enjoy! (Note: don't forget to cook the rice; it's the perfect accompaniment.)
